Apple Vision Pro, as in the product currently on the market, almost certainly no. With its drawbacks and price point, it only appeals to a very small group of people. However, I think Apple intends to build an entire Apple Vision ecosystem and that might eventually be successful if they stick with it. But I think to be a viable product for consumers, it would have to be proper lightweight AR-glasses instead of just a VR headset with very good passthrough. It’ll have to be comfortable enough and have the battery capacity to be worn for many hours. That kind of technology still seems pretty far off though, so I wonder how Apple plans to bridge that gap. It’ll be difficult to keep app developers interested in a product with a very small userbase.
I don’t know, I can see the full headrest getting more powerful and people using it as their main work device - especially with people working from home.
For that use case I don’t think it would need to go all the way to at headset, just a bit lighter with a bit more battery and a bit more power and a few more killer apps that make it feel worthwhile.

Pretty much agree with all of that, especially with them having to bridge the gap until they can make glasses.
